🔥 MAKER SPOTLIGHTl #1 🔥



This one was an absolute crowd-favourite.
DIY with Elle turned a simple plank of wood into a serving tray with paint, handles and a whole lot of confidence — and showed our guests exactly how to do the same.

From measuring to drilling to assembling something you actually want to display, Elle showed everyone that great things start with simple skills and the courage to try.

Thank you, Elle — your energy, creativity and passion for teaching made this workshop unforgettable. Can’t wait to see you at the next one.

This weekend, the sound of Makers Festival is powered by women.
An all-female lineup of local artists takes the stage, soulful, strong, and full of heart.

Ease into Saturday with ’s warm morning groove, pause for .musician ’s voice that will stop you mid-conversation, and stay for ’s golden-hour acoustic session that feels like home.

On Sunday, .solimene opens with calm and closes with grace, ending the weekend on a note of magic.

Come for the making. Stay for the music.
Every hour has its rhythm. Every set, a story.
